Answer:

The ratio of the Broglie wavelength of an electron to that of the proton is 42.85.

Explanation:

let λe be the Broglie wavelength of the electron and λp be the Broglie wavelength of the proton, Me be the mass of the electron and Mp be the mass of the proton. let h be the Planck constant, Kep be the kinetic energy of the proton and KEe be the kinetic energy of the electron

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to
Lana71 [14]

complete question:

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot

Answer:

a ≈  5281 ft

Explanation:

The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff  measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.

The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°

The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°.  90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.  

using SOHCAHTOA  principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)

tan  85° = opposite / adjacent

tan 85°  = a / 462

cross multiply

462 × tan 85° = a

a = 11.4300523 × 462

a =  5280.66  ft

a ≈  5281 ft

A large helium filled balloon is used as the center piece for a graduation party. The balloon alone has a mass of 222 kg and it
inn [45]

Answer:

The buoyant force is 3778.8 N in upward.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of balloon = 222 Kg

Volume = 328 m³

Density of air = 1.20 kg/m³

Density of helium = 0.179 kg/m³

We need to calculate the buoyant force acting

Using formula of buoyant force

F_{b}=\rho_{air}\times V_{b}\times g

Where, \rho_{air} = density of air

V = Volume of balloon

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

F_{b}=1.20\times321\times9.81

F_{b}=3778.8\ N

This buoyant force is in upward direction.

Hence, The buoyant force is 3778.8 N in upward.

Why are units of measurement useful?
Zanzabum

Without the ability to measure, it would be difficult for scientists to conduct experiments or form theories. Not only is measurement important in science and the chemical industry, it is also essential in farming, engineering, construction, manufacturing, commerce, and numerous other occupations and activities.
